Ship-shape Tip Top

The Crossroads of the Danforth is one
of the remaining areas of Toronto that retains working architecture
of a previous time. A clear example is this early 20th
century gem Tip Top Auto Collision.

It has been taken over by Jose Murillo,
Sr. who has run Tip Top Auto Collision as a family owned and operated
business for over 40 years!

Now 3 generations of the Murillo family
run the enterprise, with Jose's son Joe Murillo managing the
business, Joe's wife, Liane is the Office Manager and their son
Zachary is a mechanic. The
Murillo family very active in apprentice training and certification
programs for the auto repair industry,

Personally I'd like to recognize the
Murillos for the quality of conservancy they have maintained with
regard to this facility, such as sensitive care of the unique
signage.

Founder Jose Murillo can still be found at the shop
greeting customers and friends.
